YAY Lexington! Please tell her that the Thomas family is SO PROUD of her! Her smile and positive attitude are quite infectious and gave me quite the pick-me-up today. She is such a precious child.

Morning shenanigans... we jumped, did handstands, and worked on grip strength with our new toy (picked it up last night in the “adventure aisle” at @aldiusa)! . Reinforced the “gym rule” this morning = the gym is a place of peace and hard work... nothing more, nothing less. It’s not often that I have to remind the princess warriors of this rule... and when I do, they cut me off half way through and finish the sentence!!! #theygetit . A good strong start to a great day! #princesswarrior #beautifulanddangerous #makingexercisefunagain #firsthalfparenting #garagegym

Today was a huge milestone for me. 365 days ago I made a commitment to work out every single day. Today was my 365th workout! . Those workouts ranged from powerlifting to bodybuilding... from yoga to walking... from climbing ropes and flipping tires to balance work on the exercise ball. . There were some days when the workout was longer than an hour... and a couple of days when I actually forgot... so I crawled out of bed and banged out some pushups. The point is that for the last 365 days I have done something for my body every single day. . I’m pretty happy about that and expect to continue it as a lifestyle. I give a shout out to @brutalirongym, @marksmellybell, and @zevenesh for the inspiration and for modeling the way! . I celebrated this milestone by executing “The Murph” in honor of a hero... a top tier warrior and athlete. RIP #makingexercisefunagain #garagegym #fitover40 #missionaccomplished #missionaccepted

OH MY GOSH... YES!!! #Repost @joerehab with @get_repost ・・・ #repost @pelvicguru1 Sarcopenia has been defined as an age related, involuntary loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. Beginning as early as the 4th decade of life, evidence suggests that skeletal muscle mass and skeletal muscle strength decline in a linear fashion, with up to 50% of mass being lost by the 8th decade of life [1]. Given that muscle mass accounts for up to 60% of body mass, pathological changes to this important metabolically active tissue can have profound consequences on the older adult. The consequences of sarcopenia are often severe in older adults, as the strength and functional declines associated with sarcopenia can in turn contribute to a number of adverse health outcomes, including loss of function, disability, and frailty [2,3,4▪]. Sarcopenia is also associated with acute and chronic disease states, increased insulin resistance, fatigue, falls, and mortality [5–7]. Of the chronic disease states, sarcopenia has been especially associated with rheumatologic conditions, especially rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in women [8]. . Strength training in the elderly (>60 years) increases muscle strength by increasing muscle mass, and by improving the recruitment of motor units, and increasing their firing rate. Muscle mass can be increased through training at an intensity corresponding to 60% to 85% of the individual maximum voluntary strength. Improving the rate of force development requires training at a higher intensity (above 85%), in the elderly just as in younger persons. It is now recommended that healthy old people should train 3 or 4 times weekly for the best results; persons with poor performance at the outset can achieve improvement even with less frequent training. Side effects are rare. . Progressive strength training in the elderly is efficient, even with higher intensities, to reduce sarcopenia, and to retain motor function. . At the end of the day everyone no matter what age should take on some form of resistant training, have good nutrition and quality sleep. Start early to stay young and resilient forever. . Tag 3 friend and share the wealth! . #strengthtraining #healthi

So what shall we do about this fellas? . May I suggest surrounding yourself with some men who will speak “hard to hear truth” to you... then STOP defending, explaining, and justifying yourself and get to work on toughening your heart, mind, and back! . Let this wisdom guide you: “Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy.” (Proverbs‬ ‭27:6‬ ‭NLT‬‬) #killalion #strongheartstrongback

What an amazing night! Good football... and even better cheering!!! Thank you South Point Stallions for highlighting these awesome kids!

Morning shenanigans... training for Beast Master (watch it on Netflix)!!! . Every morning is about being bigger than “The Fear”. Fear says “You can’t.” Dad says “You CAN!” Soon my voice will be the voice in their heads, and they will remember all the times they’re heard “you can’t”... and then they did!!! #kickfearinthemouth #beautifulanddangerous #princesswarrior #garagegym #garagegym #firsthalfparenting
